On top of all the great responses that you have already received saying why you shouldn't, here is another. What kind of message are you sending to your employees by publishing an annon letter? I would have serious trust and confidentiality issues…

If she wants to push it, she could probably write it off of her taxes as a business expense. But like I said, that would really be pushing it. Did this ee know that she would have to travel when she accepted the position? If so, this is something…

From the EEOC website: [url]www.eeoc.gov[/url] All reports and information from individual reports will be kept confidential, as required by Section 709(e) of Title VII. Only data aggregating information by industry or area, in such a way as not t…

An employer who gives a bad referral, which prevents the ee from obtaining another position can be sued for slander. An employer with or without consent from a former employee can answer any questions(if he/she wants). What most employers choose t…

OK, I don't think I communicated what I wanted to say. Instead, as usual, I confused it with a bunch of irrelevant fluff. I was speaking to the head of department B. He and I were discussing talking to his boss about changing his hours b/c of the…

These questions are asked to the employee before he/she is offered the position? And how is this relevant to their job?

I'm sorry but can someone please inform me what ethnicity is related to corn rows/braids. As far as my knowledge of that certain hairstyle goes, it was a symbol for prisoners. One corn row for each year of prison. I could be completely wrong, but…

Do you have an EAP program? They are usually very helpful in these types of situations. We even took a short seminar on conflict and confrontation. Basically to sum it up, you will need to get this group to discuss what is really causing the unde…

Ah, I've been there. It's not easy. It is akward and uncomfortable for you both. Fortunately (I guess)I didn't do the actual term, but had to review all term paperwork, etc. The person involved was a long time family friend of over 20 years. Th…

I'm sure your facility strives to provide the best services it possibly can at all times. Unfortunately this person mis-represented your facility at a crucial time. While this is unthinkable to you and to the management of the facility, your emplo…

I have to agree with what Kaminski said. It all depends on your definition of team work. I think every company has its own definition. Ours is to work together to reach a common goal. We don't really have any "projects" that require a team to wo…

Of course Don just pointed out your biggest concerns. Those are big issues which as stated can lead to lawsuits. Even if you had the best of intentions with the direction you were trying to lead this employee. Is she out on FMLA? Do you have a…

I don't have experience in doing HR for a church either, but who is the "head" of this church? Who owns the land, building, etc.? Who employed these Pastor's? That is who I would ask as to how they would like this handled? Can they have an all…

While your policy is clearly in violation of ADEA, it is OK to have a policy regarding what your company consideres as retirement age and how long an ee should be with the company before he/she is eligible for a retirement benefit. My policy states…

Another thing to consider is: What you do in this situation will set the "policy" of how you handle it in the future. We will usually let people go immediately when they turn in notice if they are in a non-management position due to the sensitiv…

In GA they have work programs at the UI offices. If you post a job with them, they will screen and send you candidates. I guess the ESC is the same?? Best if you could clarify your situation for us, I think we are all a little confused. Are y…

I have both questions, and suggestions: First, if you are using a temp agency for these positions then the temp agency is liable for not having the proper I-9 information. However, I would read up on the current situation Wal-Mart is facing. They…

As previously stated, yes you can lower. However, if this ee chooses not to accept and quits then chances are they will be given UI. Especially if you change their work duties and/or work hours. Basically ask yourself, is it the employees fault t…

Agreed. I would inform this ex-ee that handbooks are company property and that you do not provide them to people who do not work for the company. YOu many come across as being difficult, but if you termed him and he lost his unemployment case th…

We are a small company too, but are currently relocating an ee across the country. We are allotting a one time lump sum of $10K for the move itself. Covering the current cost of the ee's rent until the move is completed (ee is staying in state unt…

I would also recommend that you draw up your job description in a detailed format. Give a brief summary of what each task encounters and have your boss sign it. I am fortunate enough to work with a comapny and a boss who will let me take my posi…

Can you be more specific, please? Are you looking for laws that says its legal to do background checks? Or something that states how often you can do them? If you can provide some detailed information, I'm sure someone will be able to better assi…

Without us knowing exactly all of the circumstances, it will be difficult for anyone to truly answer your question. I would recommend that you get a guide to investigating sexual harassment and follow your policy. If you don't have a policy, this …

You have some great suggestions here. And yes, you do have a problem that needs to be worked on. I would also like to suggest that you do Diversity training. Teach your employees that just because a person's job isn't physical, that it is not jus…

Not considering a qualified candidate for a position because of Family status is discrimination. This is also why it is considered an "illegal" question to ask during interviews. To NOT consider a qualified applicant because she has a child is e…

Unfortunately I have heard this type of story more than I care to admit. I would LOVE to know what possesses someone to STEAL lunch! Are they that hungry that they have to take someone else's food. Now, I will admit that we have mixed up the yogu…

I don't know what the size of your company is, but if you are adamant about not offering COBRA, keep in mind that if you have under 20 ee's you don't have to. But I too agree, a positive drug test does not constitue gross misconduct. While the Fed…

Our policy states that if it is a "promotional item" or if it is a gift such as "sports tickets" the value has to be under $100 and I have to approve it before they can accept it. The item then goes into an office raffle. Christmas presents such…

Kathi- I completely agree with you. Weingartner rights are for investigatory meetings, not disciplinary meetings. If you are having a disciplinary meeting then your mind is made up and the investigating has been done. However, this brochure stat…

Thanks everyone. I'm really looking forward to the opportunity to take on an assistant to do the work that really does tie up my day. It will give me the ability to write and implement all of the training courses I need to do. Busy busy busy. …
